OK, all agreed, but kim does'nt allow you're use of words like scatalogy, you have to say 'sc@t@logy'. No excremental references of any type are allowed, even if its late at night and your sh!tfaced.....drunk that is... at the time. Its the new rules.

This post to has been carefully checked by I for correct grammer and punctuation and spelling, and syntax. :)

PS, know where I can by some cheap deisel?

Correct Spelling...

Eye have a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue,
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word,
And weight fore it two say,
Weather eye am wrong oar rite,
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is made,
It nose bee four two long,
And eye can put the error rite,
Its rare lea ever wrong. 

Eye have run this poem threw it,
Eye am shore your pleased two no,
Its letter perfect all the weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew !!!

Re: I\'m going to write this, then duck

. And do'nt any....

As an obvious "expert" perhaps you could enlighten us a little; I am unsure which character the apostrophe replaces in the above extract from your post?

As a fully paid-up member of Lurkers Annonymous I think your own and Kim's messages are timely though. There do seem to be more naughty words peppering the messages just lately and it is tiresome to have to re-read threads if the grammar has all but disappeared.

Perfection is something we should all strive for. I'm still striving to mould the perfect husband after 30 years, perhaps one day........

Um.... well, that'll be an almost humorous example of incorrect use of the apostrophe. Along with misspelling "know", "grammar", and various other things. And I never even got to the their/there/they're nightmare that some users seem to have.

Re: In defence of masaccio

Sorry to be picky but with all this attention to grammer, punctuation and spelling, shouldn't the word be 'skat<font color=red>o</font color=red>logical? C'mon, you really should know, its from the Greek, skor, skatos - dung.
Incidentally, the chemical formula for skatole is C9H9N
Bet you feel better for that /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

meaning of scatology

Scatology = the scientific study of excrement. Yuk. Scatology is the correct spelling, all others were deliberately misspelled (Pheran take note!)

I've never known it spelt with a k, only a c, but maybe others know better?

WRONG

More research on your part would pay dividends. Three quality dictionaries consulted show the 'c' and 'k' as alternative spellings with 'k' as the purer form of the word. I believe 'c' is only normally used when referring to the medical discipline involved in these matters. End of lesson
